Two Supreme Court justices may retire

It is possible that two of the more liberal members of the court, justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, could decide to step aside for reasons of age and health.

Will Obama find two more “wise Latina women” like Sonya Sonia Sotomayor (pictured) as additions to the Supreme Court?

Sotomayor, the affirmative action justice appointed by Mr. Obama, had several cases overturned by the Supreme Court.

Sonia Sotomayor cases reviewed by the Supreme Court:

• Ricci v. DeStefano 530 F.3d 87 (2008) -- REVERSED 5-4 (Dissenting: Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer)
